The participants summarise their talks

The Arcimboldo Effect

Miguel Falomir

The title refers to a famous exhibition held at Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 1987: “Effetto Arcimboldo. Trasformazioni del volto nel sedicesimo en el ventesimo secolo” and the conference will focus on the life and work of the painter and the vicissitudes of his critical fortune, including the reasons for being recovered by the vanguards of the 20th century.

Arcimboldo and Flora

Miguel Falomir

Through the two works included in the exhibition, we will deepen into Arcimboldo's great invention: his "composite heads".
